Gift for Golfing Hubby - He loves it

Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2021

Bought this for my husband for Christmas who is an avid golfer to replace an older one he had. He loves it says it is very accurate and the battery life is awesome he golfs a few times a week and only has to charge it once a week. He has not used the club tracker an does not seem to want to so that may have been a waste.

Poor charging

Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2023

Like every Garmin I have owned, the S40 is very difficult to charge. The battery once charged is fine, but getting the charging cable to engage is a crap shot. Last night it took me almost 15 minutes to get the cable connector to stay connected. I also bought an after market cable in hopes of getting a better connections, and the new cable is only marginally better.

The S40 works fine as a golf GPS watch with only a few satellite losses. Some day Garmin will hire an engineer to design a charging systems that works. The apps take some set up time.

THIS IS MAGIC!

I can't hardly described how pleasantly surprised I was with how AWESOME this is! I've been using a really great mobile app (TheGrint) which I love, but was curious about how this watch might do things passively that I have to enter in a mobile app (like FIR, shot distance). I played one round with this and was amazed with how accurately it captured when I was in the fairway and club distance. Hazard and layout distances are incredibly easy to use and the display is very easy to read even in bright sunlight. Honestly, this is so damn fun! Buy this!

Refund

Seriously thinking of returning. The sensors will not connect, what should be a simple task has become impossible. The watch work well and so far has no issues. Have it less than a week and used twice. Return is imminent all due to sensors. Change the battery and all sensors works as designed.

Charging connector poor - bad enough that I cannot use

Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2023

Very disappointed. It charged with no problem for the first few months but now I’m lucky to get it to charge after cleaning the connectors with alcohol and jiggling the cable repeatedly. I cannot get a replacement cable because I live in Canada.

Really Disappointed. Software Malfunctioning and No Support

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 1, 2020

Terrible. Have worn for 3 weeks and here's the issues so far. Seller advised me to contact Garmin who haven't yet responded.

1) Duplicates the scorecard so I have 2 carbon copies whenever I play rendering stats inaccurate;
2) When I remove/delete a duplicate, this has now started removing the specific shot data, which is really annoying as I have lost longest drive details;
3) I have rounds that will not delete despite eithe being duplicates or, even more annoying, random rounds where I've apparently played just 1 hole! You click delete via the app and nothing happens;
4) On rounds I've completed, the data doesn't feed through as it should to course data (for example I've played the same course 3 times, however when I go to view course specific stats, it's say I've played it twice!)
5) One of the CT10s doesn't work. Literally doesn't track a single putt despite the watch recognising it's connect (and yes Garmin before taking a shot I wait for the watch to pick up with club im using)
6) Yardage is way out on shot distanse (this has been compared against other s40s and s60s)

Honest advise, don't waste your money as Garmin support is so hard to get. Seller hasn't been at all proactive in supporting. The worse thing is that friends of mine have the S40 and S60 and they all work fine, so it's clearly me with a dud but no one will take ownership

also has some smartwatch capabilities and step counter

Reviewed in Canada on February 2, 2021

bought this as a gift. the giftee loves it and he hasn't even had a chance yet to try it on a golf course (because it's Winter)

he really likes that it can also display phone notifications/messages/phone calls but noted you can't actually make calls with the watch itself. battery life is excellent

it also includes some health/fitness stuff like a step counter and sleep tracker

overall i'm happy with the purchase
